Mac Jones needs to go. Both sides of this need a fresh start. What I don’t want to see is the Pats fall into the same trap the Giants did with Daniel Jones: a QB who stunk, didn’t get his 5th year option picked up, had a career-best season heading into free agency, and convinced the team to...
If that’s your criteria then technically Dave DeGuglielmo is the last ex-Giants coach hired by the Pats, and he was fired after the Bryan Stork game against the Broncos.
I was confused until I realized you were referring to the 2020 season’s playoffs. It was at Pittsburgh as well. Not bad. Starting to warm up to the idea of AVP as our new playcaller.

Saw Tatum’s postgame where he was basically “oh well, bad day at the office, we’re not perfect”. And Mazzulla when asked about whether they should be embarrassed by this loss, says it is “insulting” to tell another person they should be embarrassed. It’s this sort of soft, coddling approach...
Mark Buben played defensive end for the Pats from 1979-1981. Went to high school in Methuen. Also a side note: Andre Tippett's son Coby now coaches the cornerbacks for Tufts' football team.
Just wish I didn’t have to be subjected to all of Masslive’s clickbait article headlines. “Former Patriots Pro Bowler may not play this weekend”, “New England legend has interesting thing to say about this Patriots QB”, “This McVay protege favored for new Patriots coordinator position”, etc...
In fairness even though I’m not a fan of Fields’ game I’d take a flyer on him for a 5th. I just don’t think that’s going to be enough for the Bears. For that return they may as well keep him for the last year of his rookie contract as a backup. QB needy teams would have to give up more than...
Acknowledged, as I did mention his lack of durability. He still has value as an experienced, relatively cheap veteran when he’s upright. But I don’t fault you for disagreeing, he is far from being a sure solution. Problem is there aren’t a lot of inspiring solutions out there when looking for a...
Fields is not a QB you trade for to be just a bridge. In 2022 he ran for 1,143 yards, the second-highest total ever for a QB. That kind of upside isn’t going to come cheap, and that’s the problem:
- You’d be bringing in a QB to an offense that isn’t already tailor made to this skill set
-...
My apologies for nitpicking but you probably mean Cowher as he was the Steelers coach that year. The Super Bowl the Steelers won under Tomlin happened 3 years later against the Cardinals.
You’re right, looks like that was announced just recently. This is news to me!

I remember hearing Blank wanted Belichick. It’s very curious to me that McKay...
Yeah for sure, which is why I think it was critical for them to stick the landing in their head coach search. The Falcons should’ve won their division this season, but their own incompetence at HC and QB sabotaged them. Mike Vrabel would’ve been a nice choice for them if they were really that...
I look at it a bit more cynically in that McKay preserved himself by not bringing in a guy (Belichick) who would undermine his authority, and instead has now hired someone for the third time (Morris, once with the Bucs and now twice with the Falcons) who isn’t going to rock the boat. I knew the...
Jerry Jones has a terrible track record with coaches. Seems to prefer yes men. Chan Gailey, Dave Campo, Wade Phillips, Jason Garrett. Garrett especially stuck around way too long because he knew not to challenge Jones. I’m guessing Mike McCarthy is in the same boat, telling Jones what he wants...
